On Friday, March 9th we were proud to serve 100 Marines and Sailors at Camp Pendleton with a full day of workforce readiness and employment preparation services. It was a remarkable event as we assisted service members who are six to twelve months from transitioning into the civilian workforce.

Over 100 generous volunteers were on hand to serve in various roles, including personal shoppers, merchandisers, accessory assistants, and dressing room and valet attendants!

We extend our sincerest thanks to Olukai Shoes for its generous donation of 100 pairs of casual footwear for the event and to our Board Member, Alyson Barker, for connecting us to Olukai. We also thank SALT Optics for providing frames to the Marines and Sailors, and to our generous sponsors Morgan Stanley, TEKsystems, The Boeing Company, Rita Piziali with Rodan + Fields Dermatologists, Cooley LLP, Littler, Pacific Premier Bank, and Irvine Rotary Club.

Working Wardrobes Board Chair, Justin Frame, was on hand, as were Board Members Derek Benson, Matt Niklas, and Jim Bourne, to lend their support.

In all, it was an exceptional day of helping service members on their journey to a job and to the Power of a Paycheck. Thank you to the many volunteers and sponsors who made the event so special, and to our Board Members for their continued guidance.
